ESPN's Mel Kiper gave the Seahawks an "A-" draft grade.

Kiper included Jimmy Graham, who was acquired for the 31st pick and Max Unger, in that grade. The analyst thought Frank Clark was a fine Rd. 2 value pick assuming his off-the-field problem days are over. He really liked Seattle's No. 3 selection (No. 69 overall). "The pick of Tyler Lockett (they moved up for him) is one of my favorites in the entire draft," Kiper wrote. "The guy is just always open, and anybody who watched the Super Bowl knows how much the Seahawks need pass-catchers who can create some separation. This is your guy." Sun, May 3, 2015 02:04:00 PM

Seahawks traded up with the Redskins to select Kansas State WR Tyler Lockett with the No. 69 overall pick in the 2015 draft.

Lockett (5'10/182) rewrote the K-State record books, compiling 249 career catches for 3,710 yards (14.9 YPR) and 29 touchdowns, and scoring six return TDs (two on punts, four on kickoffs) as a two-time winner of Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Year. Lockett blazed 4.40 at the Combine with a 35 1/2-inch vertical and 10-foot-1 broad jump. Twitched up, versatile, and highly competitive, Lockett has drawn comparisons to T.Y. Hilton and Antonio Brown. Despite his size deficiency, Lockett projects as an early-career impact player on offense and returns. He could be the Golden Tate replacement the Seahawks couldn't find last year. Fri, May 1, 2015 09:57:00 PM

Kansas State WR Tyler Lockett will "likely to get picked in the third round this week, but he will outperform several wideouts taken above him," according to NFL Media analyst Daniel Jeremiah.

With another loaded WR class in this year's draft, the 5-foot-10, 181-pound Lockett tends to get overlooked. The Kansas state prospect, who was highly productive in 2014, recorded 93 catches for 1,351 yards and nine touchdowns when everyone knew he was getting the ball. Although Lockett lacks the ideal size for the position at the next level, he has been productive for the Wildcats. Lockett should make an immediate impact on offense, as well as on special teams.

Kansas State WR Tyler Lockett "has the best ability to string together multiple moves in the open field of any player in this class," writes ESPN's Todd McShay.

"I can't count the number of times I'd see him make the first guy miss on tape," McShay wrote. "He can hurt defenses in multiple ways. He's obviously great after the catch, but he also does some damage on handoffs and he might be the best return specialist in this draft. He had six kickoff and punt return TDs combined during his college career." Lockett confirmed the explosion at the combine, running a 4.4-second 40-yard dash time with a 6.89-second 3-cone drill. The 5-foot-9, 181-pound Lockett, who finished with 93 catches for 1,351 yards and nine touchdowns last season, has been compared to Colts WR T.Y. Hilton. Mon, Apr 27, 2015 10:04:00 PM
